I am searching my options for a new machine and the best fit for the shop and the budget.

This machine looks really attractive, but is it too good to be true And since it is quite different than the conventional cnc machine structure that I am accustomed to, I wonder if there are any downfalls to moving the Y axis along with Z instead of X.

Plus lots of data points about DMG Mori service being just a total shit show lately (and that is from buyers of very high end iron, much less their lower-end offerings).

By the same token, pricing on the Okuma Genos mills is pretty amazing, lots of them are in service with crazy happy owners, and the support is excellent.

Want the results in a sentance or three The previous generation of Ecomill killed any warm and happy feeling that DMG was looking to get with an entry-level machine.

So it seems everybody asks about them but nobody wants to risk buying the new ones.

Dmg Mori New Hampshire Serial Number And A

After giving the serial number and a picture of the id plate 3 phone calls and about 10 emails to get 3 fuses she tells me to call Fanuc.

The inclusion of what many refer to as options and a big plus spindle, quoted volumetric accuracy to 0.0002 for 92k for the V1100 looked pretty nice (about 10K more than Hass VM).

This is why I am asking questions; I appreciate all the feedback.

But I havent worked with production milling, so waiting a day or two for parts wasnt a problem.

All the toolmakers that I know swear to DMG machines, as they are well build and precise every time.

The thing that they always has done is to make such the operator can get to the table of the machine without stretching thru a little door and laying on the table half in the machine.

The Eco line should be OK, still German parts, but assembled somewhere in Eastern Europe to cut the costs down.

Cheers.

With DMG Mori moving more DMG machines (and building the DMU 50 in California), it sounds like the deep producttech knowledge has not scaled very well.

DMG Mori decided to sell direct.

They attempted to buy out their largest re-seller (Ellison), but that didnt happen, Ellison walked away to sell Doosan, and DMG Mori USA was stuck having to build a whole salessupport infrastructure from scratch.

This is something like 18 month old, and it apparently isnt going well.
